Vin Baker: Manager At A Starbucks
Vin Baker’s incredible NBA career lasted 13 years long, but sadly, he lost his money in retirement after battling alcoholism. Baker now works as a Starbucks manager and is also a minister at a church. He knows how people might look at working at a Starbucks, but he has accepted that. Baker explained, “I was an alcoholic, I lost a fortune. I had a great talent and lost it. For the people on the outside looking in, they’re like ‘Wow.’ For me, I’m 43 and I have four kids. I have to pick up the pieces.”

Brandon Roy: Basketball Coach At A High School
Many analysts have said that Brandon Roy would have had an NBA career that could have earned him a spot at the Hall of Fame had he not had those nasty knee injuries. Roy’s knee never actually recovered, so he had no choice but to retire young. He initially tried a career in broadcasting but it wasn’t a fit and in 2016, he started his job as the head coach of the boys’ basketball team at Nathan High School. The team went on to have a perfect 29-0 in his first season and he received the Naismith High School Basketball Coach of the Year Award for his efforts.
